Chapter 55 The Handprints Behind

We hurriedly turned on the flashlight and looked around, but we didn't notice Zhou Cheng at all.

However, due to Zhou Cheng's gunshot just now, we dare not act rashly. We don't know what was released here just now, which could force Zhou Cheng to shoot.

The remaining four of us decided to search in different directions separately. We were in groups of two, Er Shu and Wen Mo, and I and Yuanxiao.

Before leaving, Uncle Er took out two fluorescent sticks and broke them with his hands. The green light lit up. Uncle Er threw the fluorescent stick on the ground, "Let's start with this place. No matter whether you can find Zhou Cheng in a while, they all return to gather here. If you encounter danger, call for help and then retreat here. Do you understand?"

Yuanxiao and I nodded to express our complete understanding. Uncle Er looked at us with some concern, "You two are still a little lacking in experience. When you encounter any situation, leave immediately and don't act rashly."

I felt that my second uncle was a little nagging, so I waved my hand repeatedly, "Okay, Uncle Second, I think you are almost becoming my second aunt!" Yuanxiao also nodded in agreement.

"Hey, you two brats!" Uncle Second glared at me, "Don't just be slutty, remember to do serious things!"

Yuanxiao and I shrank our necks. Uncle Er really knows us. When we got together, this situation is really possible.

We responded to the second uncle's words casually and acted separately from them.

Yuanxiao and I walked in the tomb. At first, we could see the flashlights of my uncle and the others, but as the distance between us increased, our surroundings soon turned black.

This feeling reminded me of my time when I was in Qilian Mountains with Yuanxiao. When we thought about it, we had all rushed over such strange places, and this place was nothing. This self-hypnosis idea doubled my confidence.

We found that the tomb, the size and construction material, was similar to the Shadow Hall above. We walked a short distance and found another stone pillar. This stone pillar was very different from what we saw in the Shadow Hall.

The stone pillar adopts a three-layer structure, column foundation, column body and top plate. This is the most common form of stone pillar. The column foundation, as the base stone, is also the part closest to the human sight. It has always been exquisitely carved. The column foundation here is carved with lotus patterns and some birds and beasts.

The column body is relatively simple, with some vertical patterns running through the whole time. At the top of the stone pillar is a round stone slab, which we call the Chenglu Pan. At the connection between the Chenglu Pan and the column body, four small beasts are carved. It is no longer clear what the carving is.

There is still a lamp slave under the stone pillar. I felt a little hesitant when I saw this. I just hope it would no longer be the weird image in the Shadow Palace.

Fortunately, the lantern slave here is more normal in shape, and it looks like the famous Changxin Palace Lantern. The character style looks quite kind, making us feel more comfortable.

After experiencing all the abnormal situations in the Shadow Hall, seeing these common sense things made me feel extremely friendly.

Yuanxiao carefully illuminated the lamp slave in front of him with a flashlight, and finally fell to the ground, "I have to take a good look at whether there are any bugs hidden here."

I felt that it would not have happened anymore, so I said to Yuanxiao: "With Xu Fu's conceited mentality, a trick will not be used for the second time. Besides, this is a real tomb. If we use bugs here, it is difficult to ensure that they will not climb to other tombs, or even go to the main tomb to destroy things, which will be a waste. Isn't it crazy to destroy their tombs? And I don't know if you have discovered that the beetles in the Shadow Hall do not have outstanding climbing ability. If we climb onto the stone pillars, they have no choice. These beetles are just very large and have strong lethality. If we have experience, we will not be in a hurry even if we encounter them again. In short, we should not be affected by it, and ignore other dangers."

Yuanxiao looked under the lantern slave, then nodded, "What he said makes sense, I just don't feel at ease if I don't look at it. I feel disgusted when I think about those insects." As he said that, Yuanxiao was about to get up, but suddenly he said "Ouch". Then he looked at me strangely, "Don't mess around!"

I looked at him for no reason, "You are sick! Who is in the mood to make trouble with you? Do you think today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Yuanxiao frowned, "Then why are you slapping my butt?"

I glared at him, "Why do I like you so much? I'm still slapping your ass? I'll give you a big mouth."

Lantern Festival "cut" and ignored me. So we continued to search forward. But before we took a few steps, Lantern Festival next to us said "Ouch" again, and then turned to look at me.

I also looked at Lantern Festival, "What's wrong with you?"

Yuanxiao looked straight at me: "Why are you hitting me again?"

I am really disgusted with the low-interesting jokes like Lantern Festival, "I asked you to stop making trouble! When is it now, I'm still in the mood to joke!"

Unexpectedly, Yuanxiao also looked serious, "Yes, why are you making trouble! Brother Cheng is missing now, I really don't have the mood to joke like this with you!"

I was really angry about the accusations like a thief like Lantern Festival, "Go to your uncle's Lantern Festival! You're looking for trouble, right?"

Unexpectedly, this kid became popular, "I'm looking for trouble if I have nothing to do? OK, I'll tell you Zhuoran, you'd better stay away from me!" After that, Lanxiao quickly walked away from me and walked forward alone.

I cursed, "Damn, are you crazy?"

Yuanxiao ignored me at all and walked forward on her own. I took a deep breath and knew that quarreling was an unwise choice at this time. I suppressed my irritability and planned to call Yuanxiao back first. After all, it is still too dangerous to act alone in such an environment. Even Zhou Cheng, who was a soldier, is now missing.

I raised my flashlight and looked at the back of Yuanxiao. I didn't expect to take this photo to me, but I found that there was really a white handprint on Yuanxiao's pants on her butt.

This discovery surprised me. The handprint had not been taken yet when it was just now. I was very sure that the handprint was definitely not taken by me, nor could it be made by Zhou Cheng, whose whereabouts were unknown, and even more impossible was the second uncle and Wen Mo on the other side of the tomb.

Is there anyone else here besides the five of us? This discovery surprised me, but it was actually more terrifying.

I quickly took a few steps and grabbed Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival was still full of displeasure and broke free from my hand, "What are you doing!"

I didn't bother with him now and asked anxiously: "Just now, did you really feel someone slapping your butt?"

Yuanxiao looked at me impatiently, "Zhuoran, do you think you are interesting? Are there anyone else here besides you? You can't just pat my own butt, right?"

I turned the Yuanxiao over and squatted down to look at the handprints on his butt. "Stop talking nonsense, I said that it wasn't my slap, it wasn't me!"

Yuanxiao sneered, then opened her mouth and wanted to turn around. I grabbed him, "Don't move!"

Yuanxiao did not struggle too much, "You are just nonsense. Now you are the only one except me. Who else is not you? Is it..." Yuanxiao was stunned for a moment when she said this, and then continued, "Damn it, it won't be..." Then she asked me nervously: "Zhuoran, tell me the truth, is it you?"

I said without raising my head, "I have told you several times, it's not me, it's not me!"

When Yuanxiao heard my words, her face changed suddenly, "You mean..." Yuanxiao turned around and looked at me, "What are you looking at behind my butt!"

I stood up, pointed to Yuanxiao's pants and said, "Look at it yourself, there is a handprint!"

Yuanxiao twisted her body, then looked at me helplessly, "You play with me, right? Can I get this body shape change?"

"Oh, yes, I was wrong." I took out my cell phone, pointed it at the white handprints on Lanxiao's pants, took a photo, and handed it to Lanxiao.

Yuanxiao took the phone and looked at the photos on the screen. His hands holding the phone were trembling a little. I don’t know if it was because of the light of the screen of the phone or because of the photo that Yuanxiao saw, in short, Yuanxiao’s face turned pale.

I patted Yuanxiao on the shoulder, "This time I should know that it wasn't me who took it?"

Yuanxiao handed me back his phone, "This tm is definitely not you. This hand is so small, it looks like a child!" Yuanxiao looked behind him nervously, "What's going on? Is there something eyeing us?"

I couldn't help but look around, and nodded helplessly.

"Is it a child?" Yuanxiao asked in a low voice.

I shook my head, "I don't know this either!"

Yuanxiao leaned closer and said, "Did you think it's the little water ghosts under your boat when you drifted over from Wufeng Island?"

"This probably won't be." I said, "You have said that water ghosts and water ghosts cannot do without water. And the thing we are targeting is either invisible or extremely agile and quick."

After listening to my words, Yuanxiao looked behind me from time to time. In fact, even I felt that something seemed to be behind me. Yuanxiao asked me: "What should we do now? Go back first or continue moving forward."

I looked at it one after another, "Let's keep moving forward. Even if we go back, we may not encounter that thing, and we don't know how many that thing there are."

"Okay," Lanxiao nodded, "Did you say that Brother Cheng was attacked by this thing?"

"Maybe," I said to Yuanxiao: "From now on, we will be back-to-back to warn each other to prevent sneak attacks."
